Answer:

It was difficult for him to understand how the heart worked because he wasn't fully aware of the pumping mechanism of the heart and how the circulation of blood goes inside the body. Not seeing the capillaries meant that the heart pumped blood towards the vessels and into a dead end. He couldn't understand where the blood that was being pumped goes to.

Explanation:

Leonardo da Vinci is considered one of the earliest persons to study the heart. Although he made an exceptional observation of the different parts of the heart, <em>he couldn't track the capillaries</em>. <em><u>He didn't know that these </u></em><em><u>tiny structures</u></em><em><u> connected the </u></em><em><u>arteries</u></em><em><u> and the </u></em><em><u>veins.</u></em> He believed that the heart was meant to<em> transfer heat from the liver going to the muscles. </em>He also believed that<em> the lungs helped cool the blood.</em>

What might happen if the gametes of a species had
mario62 [17]

Answer:

<em>The chromosome number will not be constant and the person would die.</em>

Explanation:

During gamete formation, half of the chromosomes arise from one parent and the other half from the other parent. This is possible due to the process of meiosis.

If during gamete formation, the number of chromosome does not get reduced, then after fertilization the gamete will have double the number of chromosomes as compared to the parents. Hence, the chromosome number of the person will not remain constant and he/she would die.
